Stick with some high end I5.

Shop for a psu with a single 12v rail.

Shop for a mobo that supports 2400 ram.

Get a 2400 ram stick.

That PSU appears to have Dual +12V output circuits

Unless you did all the math, and you know you won't overtax one of the rails, change that to a single rail model.
